When you work in Python projects you probably should use a **virtual environment** (or a similar mechanism) to isolate the packages you install for each project.

/// info

If you already know about virtual environments, how to create them and use them, you might want to skip this section. 🤓

///

/// tip

A **virtual environment** is different than an **environment variable**.

# Environment Variables { #environment-variables }

/// tip

If you already know what "environment variables" are and how to use them, feel free to skip this.

///

An environment variable (also known as "**env var**") is a variable that lives **outside** of the Python code, in the **operating system**, and could be read by your Python code (or by other programs as well).

        // in test environments, we test that the method exists and can be invoked
        // without throwing unexpected exceptions
        try {
            // Create a new instance to ensure clean state
            SystemMonitorTarget testTarget = new SystemMonitorTarget();

            // Try to call the expired method
            // Note: This method may fail in test environments due to system dependencies

/// info

To use `TestClient`, first install <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">`httpx`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install httpx
```

///

Import `TestClient`.

/// info

To use forms, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

/// note

/// info

To receive uploaded files and/or form data, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install python-multipart
```

## Instalar `PyJWT`

Necesitamos instalar `PyJWT` para generar y verificar los tokens JWT en Python.

Asegúrate de crear un [entorno virtual](../../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activarlo y luego instalar `pyjwt`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install pyjwt

---> 100%
```

</div>
